The Outlook mail application can be used as the single access point for all your email accounts. Outlook allows its users to add multiple accounts to the application. All you have to do is add their details make the necessary changes to Outlook setting. By doing this, you would be able to avail the Outlook features with all these accounts.

Adding a web mail service account to the Outlook application

Irrespective of which version of the Outlook mail client you are using, the setting up of an email account to the Outlook applications is almost the same, with some minor differences as to the menu options and buttons. It is important that you enter the correct data in the Outlook setting field for the new mail account.

If not, the mail client application would not be able to establish a proper connection with the mail message server. Keeping this in mind, I suggest you collect the relevant information from the network administrator of that web mail service.

Follow these instructions:

You need to launch the Account Setup wizard to add any new account to the Outlook application. Go to the File option on Outlook’s main toolbar and click on the Add Account option from the expanded menu. This launches the wizard.

Press the New button to add the new email account to the Outlook application. Later on, you can use the same option to add multiple mail accounts to the application.

Changing the Outlook settings

When adding the account for certain mail message services, the Outlook application automatically adds the settings. This is not going to work for every web mail service, and especially not for corporate email services or for any other third party mail services.

The automatic setup merely requires the email address, user name, password and other account information. You can save and exit the wizard, without worrying about anything else.

For manual setup, you need to enter all the protocol settings, port numbers, incoming and outgoing mail server addresses, and so on. This settings need to entered correctly for Outlook to successfully set up the account for that service.

Once you have set up the mail accounts properly, you start to use the Outlook application for accessing the webmail accounts, instead of going to a webmail site online. Your email correspondence would be more secure this way.
